My writing has been completely transformed over the matter of a year; I can not say that I am the same writer as I used to be. I have always felt like writing was my most difficult subject and ultimately it has always made me stressed out. If a teacher asked me to write an essay automatically my week got ruined. I have always known I have struggled with writing and knew I was going to face many challenges once I got to college‚ this is why I took Dual Credit Composition initially. Although I was

Jurassic Park‚ a cult favorite‚ seems to be a scary work of fiction. What most do not realize is that there are efforts taking place right now to make the processes of reversing extinction a reality. This process‚ coined as ‘De-Extinction‚’ is defined as using intact tissues of extinct animals to clone them and introduce them back into existing ecosystems. These efforts are taking place all over the world: the United States of America‚ Australia‚ Poland‚ and Russia. (Zimmer‚ 2013) This process includes

This species sometimes displays pack-hunting behavior‚ which might have been the key to hunting large species in the past‚ despite its small size.[15] Today most prey are small to medium sized vertebrates. It is Critically Endangered‚ and yet the remaining wild population is under threat of hybridization.[16]

freely. Mountain Gorillas are an endangered species who live a peaceful life. But now‚ due to logging and hunting‚ their population is decreasing. Most of the mountain gorillas that are left‚ live in Rrowanda‚ a small country in Africa. There is a lot of work being done to try to protect these majestic creatures. These gorillas are soon going to be extinct‚ unless we stop and realize what we are doing to them. There are many reasons why mountain gorillas an endangered‚ but some are bigger than others

The 6th Major Extinction An Extinction is when tens of thousands are in danger of dying out completely. A Mass Extinction is when multiple different kind of species die out completely. Human activities do the most damage to animal habitats. Human activities include Illegal hunting‚ pollution from factories‚ and moving in of an invasive species which could mess up the whole ecosystem. Another example of human activities was back in the early 1800s‚ there were about 2 billion Passenger Pigeons

common to most Lepidoptera (Khoa 2012). However‚ here is a lack of information on the life history specific to the Green Sphinx. The Green Sphinx is considered endangered (Heddle 2004). This labeling depends on how high the risk of global extinction is for the specific species (IUCN 2012). While a threatened species and an endangered species are both in danger of extinction‚ with the threatened species being in a less dangerous situation‚ the difference of categorization depends on population size

that there is not one thing we can give a wild animal in captivity that they need. Many people think that zoos are preserving endangered species or subspecies‚ but in fact they are wrong. 95% of animals that are kept in zoos aren’t endangered. 97% of these animals aren’t part of the European Captive Breeding Programs‚ and less than 1% of endangered animals have been introduced back into the wild. It is no surprise that elephants don’t do well in zoos at all. The average

habitats. Zoos can participate in conservation activities of benefit to species in a number of ways. One way in which zoos help conserve animals is by participating in breeding programmes. The main organisation for breeding programmes is the European Endangered species breeding Programmes (EEP). Each EEP is managed by a species co-ordinator who can recommend that individual animals move to other collections‚ breed with particular individuals or stop breeding altogether. These decisions are made using information
